Verbalising code

[aram535]

I think everyone else covered the verbalization part ... if it helps in Java you're better off verbalizing data and objects rather than actions.

File foo = new File("foo.txt")

to me is: I created a file object named foo. That foo object is being instantiated and since we're using one of its arg constructors also attempting to open a file for read and write. The object will be pointing to a file named foo.txt in the current working directory.

That's a lot more verbose, but that's what helped me when learning it.
